As you are probably aware, we moved cpaptalk.com to a new server early on Saturday morning.

As is common when a website is moved, there have been a few issues with regards to posting, PMs, and security certificates.

We are working hard to resolve these, but it would help us greatly if you could email myself (samuel.levy@cpap.com), John Nelson (john.nelson@cpap.com) and Johnny (johnny@cpap.com) examples of issues that you are having. Screenshots (pictures of your screen with the error), the time that it happened, and a list of the things you did leading up to the error would also be helpful for us to track down and resolve these issues.

Is there a better method for bringing issues like this to the attention of admins?

Thanks.

Review the first post in this thread. It reads like they want you to send an email rather than a post here or a PM, giving all the details you can.
Posting a copy of your email to them here will keep us all informed and maybe we can add additional info then.
